God's Little Angels, a day care center in Opelika, had its operating license suspended by Alabama Department of Human Resources because a child wandered into a street.

A woman complained to police Wednesday that the center had not provided a safe environment for the children, Police Capt. Melvin Harrison said.

She claimed that on Jan. 15 her 2-year-old son opened a faulty latch of the gated business and walked into a street. Someone spotted the child and returned him to the center. The day before that incident, the child wandered out of the center, but didn't reach the street. Police said neither the center's director nor its employees notified the parent until DHR was contacted by police.
